Al is in training

Published by Al at 7:58 pm under self portrait challenge

… for the Durango 1/2 Marathon.

Yep. That’s right. Al plans to run 13.1 miles. In one day!
I might be crazy… but then again, THEY might be Giants!

I am currently following a schedule from sweat365 that does NOT require me to run every day (thank earth!) and am set to run a BIG 5 miles this weekend. AWESOME!

This is a snapshot of my runs last month (from MapMyRun

Shark Tale buy

). I think the tiny person is VERY encouraging… and I dig the weightlifting guy. Those workouts are the Adventure Fitness classes that I go to.

You know what’s super about MapMyRun? You can MAP YOUR RUN. Granted, it’s not totally accurate, but it gives you a pretty good idea of how far you’ve run and you can monitor your speed. How FREAKING COOL IS THAT?

And while I have not yet lost weight (who are we kidding? I eat MORE) I am back into size 4 jeans. Sure, they’re a little tight when I sit down, but no sucking in el gutto to button those bitches up! AWESOME!

I’ll keep ya’ll posted. And, when I figure out my correct effing stride length, I’ll tell you how fantastic my pedometer/watch/timer/etc. is.

Stumble it!

I love the little running guy. I wonder if they make a gimpy one for me? Possibly one with a knee brace or crutches?

I am excited for you! Keep up the good work.
